Each module will require independent research and analysis of information. It is suggested that the depth required be proportional to the time alloted. Thus a beginner class could expect to spend a day/period alloted to each component whereas for older students the expectations may be set higher such that a higher proportion of individual work may be expected. Again, as the topics covered are broad in nature, it is advised that students are not rushed through the material but that sufficient time for understanding of each module is allowed.

Treehouses are authored by students, teachers, science enthusiasts, or professional scientists. Anyone can sign up as a treehouse contributor and share their knowledge and enthusiasm about organisms. Treehouse contributions are checked for general accuracy and quality by teachers and ToL editors, but they are not usually reviewed by expert scientists. If you spot an error, please get in touch with the author or the teacher. For more information about quality control of Tree of Life content, see Status of Tree of Life Pages.

Treehouses are ToL pages designed for children and the young at heart.
